Supporting your journey through
pregnancy and birth
Our antenatal classes are run by experienced Midwife Dionne Thompson who will provide you with evidence based information and support on birthing, feeding and caring for your new born baby once he/she has arrived.
The antenatal course runs over 3 weeks and each class will last for 2 hrs.
The classes are held Monday evenings from 19:00pm – 21:00pm in the barn at Hitchin Lavender Farm.

What our wonderful clients say
The course more than met our expectations, it was fantastic to know that the advice was coming from an experienced midwife. Thank you, we have really enjoyed them.
I liked the teaching and discussions it prompted we could have sat and talked for hours. Your qualification and experience as a midwife was so reassuring! I didn’t feel like any question was silly and you dispelled a lot of myths! Thank you.
Excellent informative, factual and engaging sessions, would happily recommend. Superb value.
All sessions contained a wealth of information, it was great to be told so much info and feel more empowered as a result.
Venue is perfect, very welcoming and comfortable. Time is convenient and passion fruit cake was incredible!
